?617 Earning Money
"No wonder I only sensed it now... If it's really an item from the Paragons... Then maybe I can really assist you in making this fully yours…" Faith said with a confident smile.
It felt as if this wasn't her first ti doing this!
Vale's eyes sparkled upon hearing her words.
"If that's the case, then you can take it. I will wait for good news," Vale said, deciding to trust Faith.
It was comndable that she chose to stay in the castle to help the young "students" of the Academy instead of returning to the Dark Arts Faction.
This decision demonstrated her genuine care for their well-
being.
There was no doubt that he could trust this Half-Spirit.
"Then, you can take the Arcane Ores in my room tomorrow since I still have to arrange them…" Faith said as she took the Temporal Tipiece from Vale.
As soon as she did, she felt the item grow hot, and she imdiately shrouded herself with a mysterious aura.
Vale noticed this but he waited for her to speak.
"This item doesn't like ... I guess it will be tougher than I expected…" Faith said in a soft voice as she held the pocket watch tightly. Although it no longer hurt her after she cast a spell, it didn't an that she had already tad the artifact.
She needed plenty of ti to get used to it and find the safest way to research it.
"I probably need several months to study this item." Faith said with a helpless smile.
"That's fine, Miss Faith. As long as it doesn't get destroyed, you can even study it for a year," Vale reassured her.
"Mhmm... That's probably what's going to happen. Of course, if we obtain the other two items of the Paragons, then this will be a lot easier. In any case, I'll be leaving now. Thank you for accepting my request; I finally obtained a decent research project…" Faith said as she turned around and left to return to her room.
Vale, on the other hand, was equally pleased with this outco.
He then visited Magnus in his laboratory to see how many talismans and potions he had made so far. Their livelihood mostly depended on Magnus, so Vale considered assisting him to help them earn more money.
Upon entering Magnus' laboratory, Vale imdiately sensed a powerful energy fluctuation.
He wasn't sure where it was coming from, but he quickly closed the door to prevent the disturbance from affecting others who are also busy on their tasks.
He then observed Magnus, who was deeply engrossed in writing on a talisman. From his vantage point, Vale could barely discern a word written in Heumish, a language commonly used by practitioners of the Knight Arts.
'Oh... I thought he was making Elental Talismans. Is it not the profitable talisman?' Vale silently pondered. He refrained from interrupting Magnus, knowing that the materials for the talisman were not inexpensive, and any mistakes would incur significant costs.
Since they were planning to make this castle an impregnable fortress, they needed plenty of money since Marquis Morgan would not give everything to them for free.
After about five more minutes, Magnus completed the talisman. He put down his brush before addressing Vale, who had just arrived.
"Master Vale…"
"Not bad... What is this talisman for?" Vale inquired upon seeing the finished product.
"This is a high-grade Evil-Warding Talisman. You previously ntioned encountering the Gluttony in a certain city. I also heard that the number of Evil Creatures had been increasing over the past few weeks. It feels as if soone is releasing a huge number of evil spirits. This problem may be in this region and other kingdoms in every part of the world. I believe that this is a sign that the Abyss Realm's invasion is getting near." Magnus explained.
He then paused for a mont to give the Talisman to Vale before continuing.
"This ti, I'm planning to earn money from the nobles and rich businessn... This would surely help us complete our preparations faster."
"Ohh... So you're already preparing for that! Nice..." Vale remarked, realizing that Magnus had proactively altered his target custors, a step beyond what he had suggested.
"But how about the potions and talismans we're sending every week to the towns and villages? They're our line of defense if the invasion starts, so it's better to make them a bit stronger with our supplies," Vale inquired. He didn't want to stop supplying potions and talismans to these places since it would attract Arcanists to gather in these places which would benefit them in the long run.
Magnus smiled after hearing his Master's concern.
"Don't worry, Master... Lisa has decided to take care of a part of it. It will only take her at least 4 hours a day to make hundreds of low-level talismans. As for the potions, I can still handle that…"
Vale was unaware of Lisa's growing talent.
But it certainly made sense since she learned from Magnus for a few months already.
Furthermore, it seed that her transformation into a vampire had significantly altered her sleeping patterns. Perhaps she had grown bored and thus volunteered for the task…
'Right... We can't always stay in the castle with few people. There should be so sort of socializing as well…' Vale mused silently, recognizing the scarcity of social interaction.
With this in mind, he resolved to accompany their next trip to the towns and cities to sell their products. He intended to take advantage of the opportunity to explore and spend ti with his friends.
'I think it's not that bad to have so fun from ti to ti... Once the invasion starts for real, we will no longer have a peaceful ti like this…' Vale reflected, imdiately contemplating which places they should visit.
"Alright... Do you have amulets here?" Vale inquired.
"Yes, Master Vale... We have 2,000 amulets, as you've requested. I was planning to make Healing Amulets from them... However, they will be too expensive, and selling them in small towns will be difficult. The doctors or alchemists will also hate us for that. May I ask what you plan on using them, Master?" Magnus asked.
"Mhmm... I don't really have any other options. I can only make Protection Runes..." Vale responded.
He wasn't sure if this item could sell, but he would try it in the small towns they'd be visiting next week.
He could only hope that nothing goes wrong at that ti...
